[QUOTE="Sophrosyne, post: 64793588, member: 193127"] Some email services like google read your emails noting keywords they do it anonymously but do serve ads which means they track. Basically speaking it is hard to completely be invisible online you (not personally by name) are known by many sites because of cookies stores on your computer that are read by sites. They have flash cookies which have been known to be worse offenders in that the cookies are able to be read through flash apps and are persistant in that it used to be you couldn't permanently delete them in fact for a time there wasn't a way in flash to delete these hidden tracking cookies. Cookies are the way most people track your habits online that is why I don't be default accept cookies from most sites online but sadly I have gmail and use googles search engine and google has over 100 cookies on my computer to both help me on their 2 sites I frequent but also google shares this info with others too. Emails are more private than facebook and the like but there is always a chance someone can hack your account. Back in the 90s there was Hotmail and Rocketmail and AOL and a few others and Hotmail was hacked often people getting into accounts. Today email is a lot more secure but nothing is 100% secure other than a computer not hooked online is secure from those online. [/QUOTE]
